Daffy D

I don't think there is any significance to the Morse code, just something the programmer wanted to do for a bit of fun. Would be nice if there was some way of giving the programmer some feedback, just to let him know there are some people out there who noticed and appreciate his bit of fun.

Daffy D now talks about fixing a pump to start things off..........I think I once many moons ago syphoned out petrol and that sucked......... Not sure if I explained it right. The idea of the pump is to attach it to the end of the outlet pipe. Fill the whole pipe with water using the pump, right up until the water flows back into the tank. When the whole pipe is full of water remove the pump and the syphoning should start. Of course you always suck on the end, like syphoning petrol, but in this case I think using the pump would be better.

Opps! Supposed to be 6m. Still great suction

No I did not know that

My tank is up a 60m tower so the syphon thing works well. It does suck out all the gunk. If you tank is only a few inches off the ground you need the outside hose to be a lot longer to get that weight of water for the syphon to work. If possible even put the end down a drain to get that extra height. Inspired by this thread I finally got round to cleaning my tank today. I had the end of the drain hose somewhere I could see while up the tower so knew where to poke the suction pipe. Los of gunk came out, so should be good for another few years.

Every torch you buy these days seems to have the flashing light option. Bit annoying when you want to switch the thing on but have to go through the push button sequence to just have a steady light. Recently I bought a Xiaomi Mijia Mi Portable Electric Air Pump for checking tyre pressures on the kids bikes and the shopping motorbike. The unit has a light button. Useful for working in the dark, and yes it has a flashing light in the push button sequence But here is the interesting bit the flashing light isn't random it flashes the Morse code for SOS. ... ---... Well I thought was interesting. Shall I get my coat now

The idea of siphoning is that the pipe outside the tank is longer and lower than the pipe inside the tank. The principle is that the water in the outside pipe is heavier than the water inside the pipe in the tank thereby gravity pulls it out. As long as the outside pipe is lower than the intake of the inside pipe the syphon will work. The normal way to start a syphon, that is filling the whole pipe with water to get the thing flowing is to suck on the outside pipe till the water starts to flow. This is not really practical with large diameter pipe from the tank. What I do is set the whole thing up, then use water pressure from the pump to fill the outside pipe till its full and flowing back into the tank, then remove the pump and water should start to flow by it's self from the tank.

Drag or push the car out into the middle of the road so it's blocking all traffic, then park your car in the space so he can't get it back, then go indoors open a beer and watch him dealing with all the angry Neighbours who cant get past.

School supply and stationary shops usually carry those kind things. Usually at the back with the handicraft section.

Thank you all for interesting replies. Especially "connda" and "elfpattaya". Looks like perfect combination at reasonable price. Will place order for the two items Thanks

So looking through Lazada for headphones for the computer. Easy enough you may think it is if you have Bluetooth, what about the rest of us? Just looking for normal headphones where you have a little transmitter thingy that pugs into the computer and a set of headphones for receiving. NO BLUETOOTH Used to have such a setup long ago so it must be available somewhere, just can't seem to find it. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Why is everything these days Bluetooth and Gamimg. Want to buy a CPU, motherboard, graphic card or memmory stick, it's all "gaming" What about the rest of us who just want normal stuff???? Mini rant over

Some interesting points made. But keep in mind the operating distance of the tracker, and if the bike is stolen and hidden in a shed, having the tracker active only when the ignition is on ain't gonna be much use.

No it won't. Engines run best at their correct temperature.

Not really the same thing

True. Bike batteries are not very big, unlike a car, so if you don't use the bike for a few days the battery may be a bit low. Something to be aware of. Could get a small solar panel to hook the bike up to so you won't have to worry.

Blue Haiter is the way to go. Started to see the mold disappear after just a few minutes.

I fitted one of those to the shopping motorbike, works a treat. Good value, only extra cost is 50bt per month for the SIM card. Accurate to within a few feet. Surprised the wife when I saw she was in Tesco car park and phoned her to get some shopping for me. A bit tricky to fit getting an ignition feed, had to take off the front cowling but no big deal.

Now you mention it I do seem to remember that we used to use the blue one and yes it did have a bleachy smell. Don't know when or why we switched to the color one, possibly because of the smell. Does seem like the colored bottles have less bleaching power. Tomorrow will try to get rid of the mold using the blue , see what happens. Cheers.

So I'm trying to remove some mold from the mastic beading along the back of the sink. Put on some bleach, cover with some rolled up loo paper add more bleach leave overnight and the mold will be gone. This used to work in Farang land but not here. I use Haiter, which I have always believed to be bleach, but it does not remove the mold. Any ideas why Haiter does not work in this case? Is it actually a bleach and what's the difference with various colored bottles ? We use the pink bottles if it matters. Thanks

Does seem like the camera only works on Android or iOS Guess the dog will keep the security contract

Agree, but I'm having trouble getting the App on my PC which is Windows, so can't access or control the camera. Seems the APP only works with Android. Maybe possible to use an Android simulator. It's all getting a bit complicated. Getting a bit to old for this, maybe just forget the whole Idea

Yes I do want to get to see the cameras on my PC.

Thanks for the thought, but it's not free and I don't really want to be paired with the wife and kids devices

I'm thinking of setting up some security cameras around the house. Seems most, if not all work on Wi-Fi. Problem is my computer does not have Wi-Fi, so is it possible to set up my computer to work with both, Wi-Fi and Ethernet ? I have a Wi-Fi modem/router that works with the various phones and tablets round the house. My PC works with LAN connection. Seem to be lots of USB Wi-Fi adaptors available that you just pug in to get Wi-Fi Is it really that simple, and could I just switch between the two as needed?

A couple of disturbing things stand out from all this. In all the years that this has been going on It took a TV miniseries, not even a documentary just a TV mini series to finally get the British Justice system off their asses. But even them it wasn't till the intervention of the Prim Minister and Parliament that finally got some real action. The other point worth noting is that the computer company Fujitsu, for years denied that there was any problem with their Horizon system, yet the government has and is still awarding them multibillion pound contracts. Hope non of them are for defense system
